Notice:
Degree projection updates for 2006 were not required by the
state. The program level projections method is currently under
revision. The data contained on this page was last updated
October 2005.
The UCF Degree Plan for 2005-15 recommends a continued growth
approach to meet the educational demands in the state of Florida,
with a particular emphasis on the Central Florida metropolitan
region as well as the targeted program areas. The growth is
intended to support the university’s vision of being
the nation’s leading metropolitan research university.
The program level degree projections anticipate 10,232 degrees
in the 2005-2006 academic year, increasing to 13,996 in the
2014-2015 academic year, an annual growth rate of 3.54% over
9 years. |

Program Level Degree
Projections (Updated
October 2005) |
|
The
required annual degree projections are available for download
with the links below by 6-digit CIP code and degree level.
The detailed program level projections indicate that the UCF
doctoral and graduate certificate programs will grow quickly.
The doctoral programs are growing in size and number due to
the expansion of our research efforts. Film and digital media
has significant growth both at the baccalaureate and the master’s
levels, in addition to a very large increase in certificates
through the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy. Among
the largest gainers in expected baccalaureate degree production
over the next ten years are as follows: Elementary and Early
Childhood Education, Liberal Studies, Management, Molecular
and Micro Biology, Marketing, Criminal Justice, Accounting,
and Legal Studies.

Targeted Degree Projections
(Updated October 2005) |
|
In
response to the university’s commitment to targeted
degree areas, the Provost has committed one million dollars
($1,000,000) in the 2005-06 fiscal year to support initiatives
that will increase the production of targeted degrees.
The
requests were submitted for transitional funding to increase
degree production in a targeted discipline. The funding is
not meant to augment the 3-year transitional funding for new
programs, which is aimed at increased credit-hour production,
rather than degree completion. One early measure of success
will be the yearly increases of majors in the targeted program.
Funding is awarded for three years with extension possible
for and additional two years. The components of the requests
included: a summary of requested funding per year, targeted
increases in number of majors, methods to achieve this goal,
and why special funding is needed and how
the financial resources will be used.

The
following nine targeted program proposals will be funded for FY05-06:
| College

| The
revised degrees projections this year take into account the
new initiatives by the university to increase the number of
targeted degrees in the areas of Critical Needs, Economic Development,
and Emerging Technologies.

| The
initial estimates of degree production at the program
level were computed by applying the five year historical
program degree production rate to the program enrollment
projections. Due to the increased focus on the targeted
degree production, the model was then revised to include
additional growth in the targeted degree areas. An additional
5% growth was applied to enrollment, and a gradual increase
in degree production was applied from 6.05% in 2005 to
10.25% in 2014. This increased not only the number of
degrees forecasted, but also the degree production rate.
These numbers were sent to each of the college representatives
for their review. Additional increases in the number of
targeted degrees were made by the college representatives
based on their knowledge of programs focused on increasing
targeted degree production. The following chart and table
show the degree production prediction from last year as
compared to this year. The number of targeted degrees
is higher in the revised projection, while the projection
of non-targeted degrees is lowered. Also, targeted degrees
are expected to increase at a higher rate than last year’s
projection. Last year, the number of targeted degrees
were projected to grow from 3,456 in 2004-2005 to 4,805
in 2013-2014, a 3.43% annual growth rate over nine years.
This year, the revised projection has the number of targeted
degrees growing from 4,088 in 2005-2006 to 5,738 in 2014-2015,
a 3.84% annual growth rate over nine years. |
